Mistki has used a multitude of techniques throughout her music which has certainly inspired me as a musician. What I really love about her is that not all her songs follow the same musical pattern, she creates each one differently and they each deliver a different type of emotion and/or story. Complimenting Mitski's theatre type songwriting, her deliverance to perform and sing very much inspires me as an musician who often plays in bands.

Coming from a phase of constantly partying, Mitski stumbled upon a Jeff Buckly CD. Before then, she only ever listened to American big hits and other popular music. When listening the Jeff Buckly, Mitski realised there are other genres and ways to make music. She was impacted by the different musical format of his music/songwriting and figured out she could do the same.

Radiohead, popular for their unique style of rock with depressing lyrics is an influence of Ricky Montgomery. He is open to the things he finds that inspire him like artists such as Radiohead. They guide him to write his music and get him out of the "lets make a pop song" mindset. (Kheradyar, 2022)
